Iran war option expected to be discussed at China summit, expert says

Iran affairs expert Aref Nasr said the upcoming China summit will address the prospect of war with Iran, which remains a possible option on the table.

Speaking to Al Arabiya FM, Nasr added that the outcomes of the US and Israeli elections have limited American maneuverability, but stressed that the United States remains the world's leading power and is far from marginal.

He continued that, given US military dominance and the current global balance of power, President Donald Trump cannot back down, nor can the Iranian file be left as it is.

An unprecedented trilateral summit is scheduled for next Thursday, bringing together US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China.
